Anyone want to play some of Microsofts free games? They're only small to download which is good, about 25MB I think :D

I have the trial of Midtown Madness 2, it's not bad and has a multi-player function :)

At least we can get the CricketMX Multi-Player off the ground, because I don't think we've started yet.. have we?

For the demo, it'll last forever, you just can't do everything. Do you know what I mean? Like you can only use two cars, and only one section of the city :(

However, I do have the full version of Midtown Madness 1, and from memory there was a multi-player bit :)

Thanks for the offer though :)

Hey Battye,
excuse me if I sound (duh). But do you mean that you guys play games with each other online here?
I am new to this kind of stuff, and it sounds kinda interesting, how does it work, is this Midtown Madness 2 easy? and does everyone have to be online at the same time? Do you have partners? How long does it usually take to paly a game?
Just curious :)

Yeah, playing computer games online :)

Midtown Madness 2 is quite easy, you just need a working keyboard. We do need to all be online at the same time though. I can't give much more info about it because I haven't done much MP, maybe Boozy will know a bit more :)

In the trial of Midtown Madness 2, it lasts about 8 min. before you have to restart the game :(

Demo games are ok but as battye mentioned they are not the FULL version. Plus when you decide you want to uninstall the demo you have problems of it leaving missmatched files here and there. I'm in a gaming clan on winmx and get full versions of games. Still on 56k atm but if there is a game your online gamers want to try out let me know and ill see if i can hook one of you up with it. And the rest of you can then get it from them.

ok well basically all we do is find the person witht he fastest net, out of the regulars i think its me or grinch, and when freez is here id say its him

but the host opens the game and a mulit-player and he gives his/her IP address 2 the ppl playin, they start up the game chosse MP enter the IP address and they join the game simple as, or you can join a dedicated server on gamespy or somet like that, but you get loads of ppl there and some will whoooop your asses, i had my ass whooped there many times!

Can't you just do it through Msn Messenger?

If you don't have an account, create one here

Then add one of us to your contacts list, and we can just invite everyone to one conversation, then click "Play Midtown Madness 2" (Needs to be installed first :wink: )

Saves adding people with dynamic IP's all the time, MSN will just do it all for you 8)

Either way is simple IMHO. The hard part is coordinating a playing time.

I am wrong on this?
It kinda sounds like my connection might have a big role to play in this...like if I wanted to play with you guys, maybe I could'nt or I would drag you down becuase I am a 56k dial-up?
Correct if I am wrong.
sorry, just really new at the online gaming thing. :?
Do you have Frog Legs?
